Microsoft Hyper-V

Virtualisation

Get enterprise-class virtualisation for your datacentre and hybrid cloud

Bolster IT efficiency and flexibility with faster virtualised application deployment and maintenance. Built on Hyper-V, included in Windows Server, Microsoft virtualisation solutions help reduce costs by consolidating more workloads on fewer servers. Increase IT agility and flexibility across on-premises and cloud resources with Microsoft virtualisation solutions.

Virtualisation has enabled a new generation of datacentres with more efficiency and availability for your most demanding workloads. Microsoft virtualisation solutions go beyond basic virtualisation capabilities, such as consolidating server hardware, to create comprehensive platforms for private and hybrid cloud. This means your organisation can achieve considerable cost savings and operational efficiencies.

Whether you want to virtualise workloads, build a private cloud, scale your services through a public cloud, or combine all three, Microsoft’s virtualisation and management solutions, built on Windows Server and System Center, can help you better manage resources and offer IT as a service. And when you migrate from VMware to Microsoft, you can adapt cloud computing to your business needs.

Benefits

Realize cost savings and operational efficiencies by using the platform you know—with Hyper-V built into Windows Server

Take advantage of a unified set of integrated management tools for your physical, virtual, and cloud environments with a single console view

Benefit from better economics than VMware with unlimited datacentre virtualisation and management products licensed on a per-processor basis

Migrating to Hyper-V

Did you know that Hyper-V has had four times the growth of VMware’s ESX over the past three years? As such, virtual machine migration is an increasing priority for many customers as more and more are exploring and evaluating the Microsoft platform against their existing VMware installed base. Whether it’s virtual to virtual (from one hypervisor to another) or physical to virtual, migration provides a path for consolidation of workloads and services, and the foundation for cloud.
